Progress Report on the Village - February 2008

The village is moving on a pace. The Latest photographs were taken over a period of two days. In that short space of time the marble has been applied to the stairs and most of the doors have been fitted. All the window frames and shutters are in situ awaiting installation.

With 81 children in our care this long awaited village hasn't come a moment too soon. Contractually the residential buildings must be ready for occupation by the end of March. At the speed the army are working I have no doubt whatsoever that they will fulfil their contractual obligations. However, they are still laying foundations for the clinic and administration building so I must be sure that the site is safe for the children before I move them in. I will keep you informed as work progresses.

I apologise for the poor quality of some of the photos but the houses are so light and airy that we were battling with the Sunshine. Now that all the internals are almost completed it is easy to visualise the children enjoying their new family homes.

We can't thank all of you individually as there are so many of you who have worked so hard to achieve it. I hope when the village is completed you will all have the opportunity to visit it and see the difference your tireless efforts have made to our children's lives.

Thank you all.
